The Abbey of Croxden held six virgates of land under Theobald in the parish. The Prior of Repton also had a right of free warren and held three virgates of land and a moiety of a park. In 1317 Robert de la Ward of Roxton Lincolnshire had seizure of the advowson of Hartshorn but not of the Manor. Joan, daughter of Robert bought the advowson on marriage to the Meynell family.

John a younger son of Sir William Dethick married the heiress of this branch of the Meynells and for seven generations the Dethicks held Newhall and Hartshorn Manors. Then Grace Dethick married Sir Robert D'arcy of Dartford passing the advowson to the D'arcy's. On the marriages of D'arcy females the advowson was split four ways. From these the Earl of Chesterfield purchased the shares.

Taxation rolls of 1291 gave the annual value of the rectory as £5.6s.8d. The Parliamentary Commissioners of 1650 valued it at £52.0.0, the incumbent of that time was Mr Richalds an able preacher.
